Quantum Non-Barking Dogs
Sara Imari Walker, Paul C. W. Davies, Prasant Samantray +1
Quantum weak measurements with states both pre- and postselected offer a window into a hitherto neglected sector of quantum mechanics. A class of such systems involves time depende…
Each instant of time a new Universe
Yakir Aharonov, Sandu Popescu, Jeff Tollaksen
We present an alternative view of quantum evolution in which each moment of time is viewed as a new "universe" and time evolution is given by correlations between them.
The classical limit of quantum optics: not what it seems at first sight
Yakir Aharonov, Alonso Botero, Shmuel Nussinov +3
What is light and how to describe it has always been a central subject in physics. As our understanding has increased, so have our theories changed: Geometrical optics, wave optics…
On the Aharonov-Bohm Effect and Why Heisenberg Captures Nonlocality Better Than Schrödinger
Yakir Aharonov
I discuss in detail the history of the Aharonov-Bohm effect in Bristol and my encounters with Akira Tonomura later on. I then propose an idea that developed following the publicati…
Peculiar Features of Entangled States with Post-Selection
Yakir Aharonov, Shmuel Nussinov, Sandu Popescu +1
We consider quantum systems in entangled states post-selected in non-entangled states. Such systems exhibit unusual behavior, in particular when weak measurements are performed at…
